This situation, of course, creates inconvenience, and the most rational way out of it is to use an organizer for cosmetics. To date, there are many varieties of such devices, so recommendations on choosing specific options will be useful.
What it is?
Any organizer for cosmetics, regardless of its design features, is a device for storing any items. It can have various shapes, sizes and can be made from a variety of materials. In particular, we can talk about the so-called beauty-boxes that are popular with modern women. It can be chests, suitcases, coasters with special recesses, fabric handbags.
High-quality organizers have the main advantage, and it consists in the fact that all the necessary accessories and the cosmetics themselves are always at hand and each of them has its own place.
It should be noted that Now on the market there is a wide range of organizers. This allows each potential buyer to make the best choice, taking into account their preferences.
In addition, there are many instructions on how to make such devices yourself. By the way, the latter option implies complete freedom of action, limited solely by imagination, as well as minimal costs.
Species overview
Organizers differ from each other in functionality, manufacturing materials, design and dimensions. So, such designs can be rotating, hanging or made in the form of an originally designed box with compartments.
Given the shape and design features, the following main types of organizers can be distinguished:
- made in the form of a large-sized cosmetic bag having a considerable number of compartments, pockets, such organizers, as a rule, are equipped with clamps for pencils and brushes;
- soft bags;
- closed cases with a rigid case, which can be used stationary or taken on the road;
- transparent boxes and structures consisting of several interconnected such elements;
- in the form of caskets with mirrors and sliding compartments, depending on the dimensions, they can also be traveling.
Special attention should be paid to models in the form of caskets. Most often they are accessories related to vintage. One of the main advantages in this case is functionality provided by multiple retractable compartments. In the latter, a variety of cosmetics and other items can be located.
Special demand wooden caskets. This is due primarily to the properties of this material.
Firstly, closed organizers reliably protect the contents from exposure to sunlight. Secondly, as you know, a tree practically does not exude odors, which has a positive effect on cosmetics.
All organizers are divided into two categories according to their size. They can be small, which is convenient to take on the road, or large, characterized by increased capacity. In a separate category, round-shaped, rotating structures can be distinguished. Their main advantage is maximum ease of use and free access to all content.
Depending on the location, the organizers are divided into the following options:
- tabletop;
- wall mounted;
- outboard.
Another important criterion is the purpose of the accessory. In this context, there are such organizers:
- universal, adapted for storing any kind of cosmetics and tools;
- focused on a specific category of cosmetics (it can be lipsticks, nail polishes, shadows or pencils and brushes).
Do not forget about designer models.
The unique custom-made organizers are in great demand among women and specialists. Do-it-yourself accessories look no less impressive. The choice of materials, sizes and shapes in this case will be almost unlimited.
Materials
As already mentioned, one of the criteria by which organizers are divided into categories is the material of manufacture. Of course, such products can be made from almost anything. For example, we can even talk about bamboo napkins.
From the whole variety of existing models, the main types of organizers can be distinguished taking into account the material of manufacture.
- Wood products. Such designs are aesthetically pleasing and provide for a sufficient number of compartments, including pull-out sections. Wooden organizers provide reliable protection of cosmetics and accessories from external influences, including ultraviolet. They can be made in the form of caskets, chests of drawers or open drawers. Many models are equipped with mirrors.
- Acrylic organizers or plexiglass products. Most often they are transparent glasses of various shapes and sizes. Such devices are as simple as possible to use and are most suitable for women who are constantly in a hurry somewhere. In acrylic organizers, all the contents are in sight.The main disadvantage of transparent models of open type is the lack of protection from sunlight.
- Fabric products characterized primarily by mobility. Such organizers can be carried with you or taken on the go. Using the accessory is greatly facilitated by the presence of a sufficient number of compartments for different types of cosmetics and accessories.
- Magnetic organizers. In this case we are talking about original products that provide for the storage of cosmetics and accessories on magnetic boards. It is important to consider that each item should be equipped with a small magnet.
- Plastic models. They can be made of a transparent material (outwardly similar to acrylic) or opaque. When choosing a product, it is strongly recommended to check its integrity and absence of chips. The color gamut of plastic organizers is wide, which allows you to choose the most suitable option.
Naturally, this is not a complete list of possible options. For example, you can find glass accessories. In addition, there are varieties of organizers for certain categories of cosmetics and tools. So makeup brushes, which should be upright, can be stored in glass jars. By the way, the latter are decorated almost arbitrarily.
Dimensions
The sizes of the described structures can vary in a fairly wide range. It all depends on the amount of cosmetics and the intensity of their use. So, if we are talking about a stationary product for the home, then at the forefront is the maximum capacity and providing easy access to all content. In such situations, the size of the organizer will usually be larger than average. Portable models (cosmetic bags) are characterized by minimal dimensions, providing ease of use.
Small storages will be relevant for the representatives of the beautiful half of humanity who prefer a minimum of makeup.
If a woman tries not to miss sales and new products on the market, then she will not be able to get by with a small cosmetic bag. In such situations, it is worth considering large stationary options. They can reach a height of 60-70 cm and look like a bedside table.
Special attention should be paid to hiking models. A properly selected organizer will allow even during a long trip to contain all cosmetics and additional accessories in order. The list of such products includes not only cosmetic bags. It can be almost any option with a compact size.
For adherents of order in everything, as well as professionals working with cosmetics, large, spinning organizers will be an ideal option. Their main advantages are maximum capacity and the ability to freely arrange all objects. When using such designs, every item at any time will be at hand.
How to choose?

- in the presence of opening elements, they should move easily;
- all fasteners (zippers, Velcro, snaps, locks) must be in good condition (easy to open and close);
- seams should be smooth and of high quality.

- when choosing a stationary option, you can choose a product that simulates a small chest of drawers and looks very original;
- with a small space and a desire to save space, you can choose the wall option.
